The Wood River Times says: Owing
to the refusal OF the Omaha works to
offer satisfactory rates, our ore-producers
have, since the expiration of the contracts
refused to ship their product, which is
either being stored up for future mar
keting, or left standing in place in
the mines. Considerable ill-feeling has
in consequence existed against the
Omaha works, whose managers were be-
lieved to be greedily grasping for every
cent they could possibly squeeze out OF
us. The passage by Congress of
the Interstate Commerce bill will have
tendency to remove this dis
affection, as it is very evident
that the Omaha people, like all prudent
business men, foreseeing the passage of
the bill, refused to make long contracts
until they could ascertain the require
ments of the bill and its effect upon their
business.
Our local mining men are in daily re-

The inquirers all express their willing
ness to pay fair prices for developed
claims, but state that they do not care
for mere prospects
